500 checks and balances

Xiao Buyi looked at Si Nan with bright eyes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Sinan also looked at Xiao Buyi, thoughtful.

The two are undoubtedly the strangest couple of men and women. They can be said to be inseparable, but there is no affection between men and women.

When Xiao Buyi thought of this, he was a little confused in his heart, he felt that Sinan was like his shadow, only when he saw Sinan, he could feel the potential crisis, but did Sinan just want to know the truth of Taiping Dao and make a request to himself, so he stayed by his side?

Although Xiao Buyi could think clearly about the dispatch of thousands of troops, he still couldn't understand what Sinan was thinking in his heart. But there is no doubt that Sinan is becoming smarter and smarter, and the smart can guess his thoughts.

And Xiao Buyi's mind has always been difficult to guess.

This is not to say that Sinan was not smart before, but because she was like a blank sheet of paper before, and she had rarely been exposed to treacherous situations. And beside Xiao Buyi, witnessing everything he did, Sinan has long been used to thinking, and thinking from Xiao Buyi's point of view.

Listening to Xiao Buyi's inquiry, Sinan said calmly: "If you want to meet Wang Shichong, you don't have to send Wang Honglie back." All you need to do is find an envoy and inform Wang Shichong. You keep using thunderous means to attack Wang Shichong, just to let him know that he is powerless to fight against you at all. ā€

Xiao Buyi touched his chin and looked at Sinan with interest, "So what?" ā€

"You still want him to surrender as soon as possible, because you know that if you fight to the death, he won't get good, but you will also have to lose."

"What's to lose?"

"It's time that's lost." Sinan said seriously.

Xiao Buyi smiled, "I have time, what are I afraid of if I lose some?" He looked away and out of the hall. Sinan kept looking at Xiao Buyi's face, "You don't have much time left, because there is recent news that after Liu Wuzhou obtained the land of Hedong, he began to be arrogant and arrogant, and he didn't do anything about production, and the people complained very much." And Li Yuan is scheming and has been hiding and trying to win over the people. The confrontation between the two armies, one is the other, and Li Xuanba has been secretly operating in the steppe, if I can get the help of the Turks, I am only afraid of ...... Liu Wuzhou is not yet Li Yuan's opponent. ā€

"Liu Wuzhou was not Li Yuan's opponent in the first place." Xiao Buyi said lightly: "If he is stronger than Li Yuan, I will help Li Yuan." Although his expression was indifferent, it was just a cover-up, in fact, he knew that what Sinan said was very likely. He is attacking Wang Shichong with all his might, but Li Xuanba will definitely not be able to live a good life, as long as Li Xuanba can persuade the Turks to send troops, the situation is extremely unfavorable for him.

No matter how much they looked down on the Turks, the strength of the Turkic cavalry was definitely not to be underestimated.

Now that the situation is getting clearer, the secret battle has turned into an open fight, and they don't need to hide anything from each other. But the more this is the case, the more you have to rely on real strength to speak.

Sinan smiled, "If Liu Wuzhou is going to lose, then you will be in trouble." Now that the situation in the world has become clear, you are the most powerful. But you are the most powerful, but you are the most disadvantageous at the moment, because the battle for the world has come to an end, and those who can stay are obviously smart people. ā€

Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly: "What you said is not bad at all, so the final battle is obviously getting more and more difficult." ā€

Sinan continued: "Li Yuan and Dou Jiande are not easy to mess with, if they attack you at the same time, plus a Turk goes south, how sure are you of victory?" ā€

Xiao Buyi calmed down, "Sometimes, even if you are not sure, you must do it!" ā€

When he said this, his expression was calm, Sinan looked at him for a long time, and finally smiled: "Actually, you still have a fifty percent chance of winning." Because after all these years of accumulation, you have won the hearts of the people, and the grain in Jiangnan is sufficient, as long as you can withstand the pressure, they can't survive you. You must know that although the people are not as strong as the gate valve, the gate valve lies in the support of the people. They occupy the land, and you occupy the people, so you are in the time of grabbing the sky. ā€

Xiao Buyi sneered: "You really don't think that I can start a war on two fronts, defeat Wang Shichong at the same time, and defeat Dou Jiande with all my might?" ā€

Si Nan smiled: "Of course you can defeat these two people at the same time, but you also know that Li Yuan very much hopes that you will send troops with all your strength and fight with Dou Jiande to defeat both sides, and then he will reap the benefits of the fisherman." Dou Jiande has become a pawn for you to control the situation, he is also a smart person, of course he doesn't want to fight hard with you, but he was deceived by Li Jiancheng, he will face you first, and the chess is one move away, and it is already difficult to ride a tiger. ā€

Xiao Buyi was silent for a long time, and sighed lightly: "Sinan, you are really smart!" ā€

"These delicate situations make it very difficult for you, after all, the long journey to Hebei is a test of national strength. Wang Shichong may not be afraid at the moment, but if he really defeats Shen Faxing, he will pose a great threat to your Jiangnan. If there is a fire in the backyard, how can you go to Dou Jiande with peace of mind? Wang Shichong saw this, so he made a rash move, hoping to fish in troubled waters. You understand this better, so you can only temporarily stalemate with Dou Jiande, but you and Li Jing will do your best to solve Wang Shichong, of course you understand that if you want to win the world, it is far from enough for you alone, even if you have a lot of brave generals and good ministers, but you still lack a handsome talent, that is Li Jing! You can't let him be involved in the situation in Jiangnan anymore, but Jiangnan is also very important, and only he can make a move. Only if Li Jing can take a move, can you rest assured that you will conquer Hebei, as long as Li Jing makes a move, you will no longer be afraid of Dou Jiande, and even ...... You can fight Guanzhong and the Turks officially. ā€

Xiao Buyi didn't say anything more, just sighed lightly. He couldn't help but admit that Sinan and his sons already knew his heart very well.

It is not easy to sort out a clear main line from these intricate battles, but Sinan has clearly done it.

Sinan can think of this, and of course Li Xuanba can also think of this. Therefore, if he hoped that Liu Wuzhou would disturb the situation in Hedong, Li Xuanba would definitely hope that Wang Shichong and Xu Yuanlang would hold on for a while. Thinking of this, Xiao Buyi smiled and sneered.

Sinan kept paying attention to his expression and asked in surprise, "What I said is not right?" ā€

"You couldn't be more right." Xiao Buyi finally said: "Jiangdu is not easy to fight, even if I take down the rest of Jiangdu County, of course Wang Shichong can rely on Yangzhou to resist some words." Even if Yangzhou can't hold it, he can cross the Yangtze River and go to Biling, Danyang or Wujun. Sooner or later, he will be defeated, because he has no chance of winning at all. But even if I cut him with a thousand cuts, I can't make up for the lost time. So I'm going to get him to his knees, and I'm going to try to storm now in exchange for a soldier who can surrender without a fight later. Although I want to trample him to death, I must pretend to be benevolent and righteous, and I can even consider that if Wang Shichong surrenders, he will be made an official. ā€

After saying this in one breath, Xiao Buyi asked, "Do you want to say this?" ā€

Sinan was stunned for a while, saw Xiao Buyi's indifferent expression, and said with a wry smile: "You think the same as me." ā€

Xiao Buyi corrected: "You are wrong. ā€

"What did I do wrong?" Sinan asked.

Xiao Buyi said: "These were originally my thoughts, and you tried to guess my thoughts, so it should be said that you think the same as me." ā€

After Xiao Buyi finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing, and Sinan also smiled, and the solemn atmosphere had disappeared.

Xiao Buyi looked at her eyes, shook her head and said, "Actually, sometimes, women who don't understand anything are more cute." ā€

Sinan wrenched his face and said, "You were wrong this time." ā€

"What did I do wrong?" Xiao Buyi asked in amazement.

"It's not that women who don't understand anything are cute, but women who understand clearly but can pretend not to understand are cute." Sinan said: "Men don't need women who are too strong, but men definitely don't like women who are too stupid." A woman can only win the love of men if she is just right to be stupid. ā€

Xiao Buyi pretended to be relieved and said, "Sinan, you are getting smarter and smarter. ā€

"But I don't have to win your liking, so I don't have to be in front of you, and I don't have to pretend that I don't understand." Sinan Qiubo turned around and said playfully: "All your means are to force Wang Shichong to surrender." You first let Wang Xingben go back, and now you have released Wang Honglie, spreading the word is not the purpose, your purpose is to let the soldiers and civilians of Jiangdu know that the king of Western Liang is not easy to kill, and even the king of Wei and King Jing do not want to kill, so there is no danger for the Huainan army to surrender. Their military hearts are fluctuating, your chance is here, Xiao Buyi, my guesses, right? ā€

She said this in one breath, waiting for a reply.

Xiao Buyi finally nodded and said something ridiculous, "You know myself better than I do." Fortunately, you are not Wang Shichong. ā€

"Even if I'm Wang Shichong, there's nothing I can do." Sinan said: "Because even if he knows your overall plan, Wang Shichong is helpless, and so is Li Xuanba." Now that the forces you can check and balance have been put to the fore, the only way to solve the problem is to rely on your own strength! ā€

Xiao Buyi smiled, "Indeed, no matter how many conspiracies and tricks there are, until now, it still needs a dignified duel on the field." Now, no matter who it is, there is no turning back. ā€

Sinan said: "There is one thing I have never understood. ā€

"What?"

"It stands to reason that Dou Jiande and you don't have any incomprehensible hatred." Sinan said strangely: "As far as I know, he and Guan Long don't have any friendship, since you understand everything, why don't you join Dou Jiande to attack Guanzhong?" And let him form an alliance with Li Yuan to attack you? ā€

Xiao Buyi said coldly: "He may not be better than Li Mi and Du Fuwei. These people are leading mud legs, they are short-sighted, and they are limited to where their roots are, and they don't think far, how can they succeed? ā€

"That's certainly not what you think in your heart." Sinan said in a low voice: "Dou Jiande is indeed not necessarily better than Li Mi, but the place he is in is much stronger than Li Mi and Du Fuwei. He can be said to be ...... The combination of Li Mi and Du Fuwei's advantages, he has Du Fuwei's benevolence and righteousness, and Li Mi's ability to control the crowd......"

Seeing Xiao Buyi looking into the distance, Sinan asked, "Actually, I said this, but I just want to tell you that I ...... We can consider uniting with Dou Jiande, don't you think it's good? ā€

Her tone of concern made Xiao Buyi finally turn her head, Si Nan's eyes were extremely serious, and Xiao Buyi smiled, "Thank you." ā€

"You're welcome, at least I'm helping you, and I'm helping myself." Sinan regained her composure, "But my suggestion, I think you can consider it." ā€

Xiao Buyi shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't think about it, Sinan, a year ago...... Even earlier, I had contacted Dou Jiande. But he's really a bit capricious. I know that he is also hesitant and confused now, after the fierce battle a few months ago, he must be in a dilemma, but it is really difficult for me and him to join forces. ā€

"Why?" Sinan asked puzzled.

"The first obstacle is Roshixin." Xiao Buyi explained. Sinan also knew about Luo Shixin, but he didn't know this person, but he knew that this person had been fighting against Xiao Buyi. From following Zhang Xutuo, to taking refuge in Du Fuwei, to defecting to Wagang, joining forces with Xu Yuanlang, and returning to Dou Jiande. Everyone has a life, but Luo Shixin's life is mainly based on the opposition to Xiao Buyi.

"Luo Shixin is a strange person." Xiao Buyi frowned and said: "He betrayed General Zhang, betrayed Du Fuwei, betrayed Li Mi, it can be said that he has been betraying all his life, no one knows whether he will betray Dou Jiande or not." But Dou Hongxian likes him, and Dou Jiande loves Dou Hongxian the most, so when Dou Jiande took in Luo Shixin, I thought that Dou Jiande wanted to be my enemy. But the biggest resistance didn't come from Roshison......"

"Who's that?" As soon as Si Nan's words came out, he suddenly woke up, "It's Pei Ju!" ā€

Xiao Buyi's eyes were cold, "Yes, it should be Pei Ju!" Since this person took refuge in Dou Jiande, there has been no movement. But according to this man's actions, he will never eat and wait for death......"

Sinan frowned, "Li Xuanba is a member of Li Family Dao, but Pei Ju is the Taoist master of Louguan Dao, these two ...... Does it matter? ā€

Xiao Buyi pouted, "Who knows?" ā€

Sinan fell into contemplation again, and she realized that Xiao Buyi was far more than she thought. What Xiao Buyi said just now was just to make her happy.

Thinking of this, Sinan shook his head, but he thought of something, and said in a lost voice: "Their original purpose was to recover the avenue, but Li Xuanba obviously wanted to help the Li family dominate the world, but Pei Ju was delusional about making a comeback, they all knew that you were an obstacle to their unification!" ā€

Xiao Buyi said lightly: "So they began to secretly join forces and plot Dou Jiande against me." Luo Shixin is just an inducement, and Pei Ju is the real promoter of this war. ā€

Sinan originally had a vague impression, but when she heard this, she nodded again and again, "It should be like this, I only understand now why you no longer unite with Dou Jiande, because Pei Ju is secretly doing trouble." Although Pei Ju is obscure, "

"What is Pei Ju's purpose? What benefit can he get from this? Xiao Buyi muttered to himself, his face full of doubts.

Sinan thought for a long time, "This person has lived all his life, just for the so-called avenue of emptiness, and has supported several generations of kings, which can be said to call for wind and rain, but nothing has been achieved." But in my opinion, although Pei Ju took refuge in Dou Jiande, according to his identity and appeal, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he will not be able to win the world by himself. ā€

"That's what I wondered." Xiao Buyi fell into a deep groan, "What Pei Ju is doing now is a typical harm to others and not to himself. Dou Jiande is likely to be dragged into the quagmire by Pei Ju next time, but Pei Ju is such a smart person, why would he do such a meaningless thing. ā€

Sinan said: "There are many people in this world who harm others and are not beneficial to themselves, why force Pei Ju?" When she said this, she smiled and added: "For example, Wang Shichong, he must think that what he is doing now is very meaningful, but in our eyes, it is harming others and not benefiting himself." ā€

Xiao Buyi was made to laugh and cry by her explanation, but she still couldn't relieve her doubts, and her heart moved slightly. Suddenly asked a very strange question, "Let's put Pei Ju aside for the time being, do you think Li Xuanba is for the Li family, or for the Great Dao?" ā€

Si Nan thought of this kind of question for the first time, and thought for a long time before saying, "It should be for the Li family." Because all along, he has not been half-divided into the performance of the avenue. ā€

Seeing that Xiao Buyi was silent, Sinan asked, "You don't agree with me?" ā€

Xiao Buyi suddenly showed a very strange smile, "I don't agree!" ā€

Sinan and Xiao Buyi have been together for a long time, knowing that every time Xiao Buyi shows this kind of smile, it must have thought of some bad idea, or rather, someone is going to be unlucky.

But this time it's about Li Xuanba, this is Xiao Buyi's most difficult invisible opponent, what is his ability to make Li Xuanba deflated?

In front of Xiao Buyi, Sinan has always wanted to say something, "You don't always say that he is for the Great Dao?" ā€

Xiao Buyi said slowly: "Many people can harm others and themselves, but many people are also extremely selfish, in the face of power, whether it is history or now, there are too many people who do whatever it takes. For the sake of power, family affection, friendship and even ...... can be extinguished Love. ā€

Sinan was surprised: "What are you talking to me about this?" ā€

Xiao Buyi sneered: "Li Xuanba can pretend to be dead for the sake of the Li family, for the sake of the Li family, he can abandon Pei Mingcui, and for the sake of the Li family, he will play with me, a so-called friend." He gave so much that even after learning about his tricks, I felt a moment of emotion, and I even felt that what he had done was understandable. ā€

Sinan said coldly: "I remember that you said some time ago that after seeing Li Xuanba, you would kill him without hesitation." ā€

Xiao Buyi smiled: "I understand him as one thing, killing him is another, not to be confused." ā€

Sinan was slightly stunned and was speechless for a long time. Xiao Buyi said again: "But people are selfish, just like me, although I take a group of brothers to fight the world, but of course I am the one who sits in the world, not others, right?" ā€

"If you give it to others, you also need the approval of your brothers."

"That's what I said, but why should I?" Xiao Buyi said lightly: "Without me, where did you come from in the world?" Why should I give up the world that I have won with my own fists to others? Seeing Sinan looking at himself in confusion, Xiao Buyi explained: "I actually want to say, will Li Xuanba think the same way as me?" ā€

Si Nan's body trembled slightly, and he asked in disbelief, "What did you say?" ā€

Xiao Buyi smiled suspiciously again, "I am pushing others with myself, what I want to ask is, Li Xuanba has done so much for the Li family, is he willing to be obscure, just for Li Yuan to be the emperor?" ā€

"Do you say that when the world is unified, if the Li family has the opportunity to gain the world, Li Xuanba will obviously have the greatest credit, and he will consider replacing Li Yuan?" Sinan understood.

Xiao Buyi smiled happily, "I am indeed in danger, but the Li family is obviously the same, no one can know what will happen in the future." What we can do now is to go step by step, where can we manage a lot! What else did he have to say, seeing Lu Laosan walking in in a hurry, his expression was solemn, and he couldn't help but restrain his smile, Huo Ran stood up and said, "Third child, what's wrong?" ā€

Xiao Buyi didn't even read the military literature to know that something bad was happening. Although he looks lazy now, his senses are far sharper than ordinary people.

Lu Laosan silently handed over the military text, Xiao Buyi unfolded it and looked at it, there were ripples on his originally calm face, and Sinan asked urgently, "What's wrong?" ā€

Xiao Buyi sat down slowly, and handed the military document to Si Nan, who glanced at it, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

**

Wang Honglie, escorted by the guards, turned back to Yangzhou. When he stepped into Yangzhou City and looked at Yushu Qionghua, Wang Honglie was like a dream. The guards had already informed Wang Shichong of the news of Wang Honglie's return, and Wang Shichong served as a summons.

When Wang Shiwei saw that Wang Honglie was safe and sound, he was overjoyed, and despite the king's presence, he hugged his son and cried with joy.

Wang Shiwei was overjoyed, but Wang Shichong was a little displeased, he felt that he was out of place with everyone. Wang Shiwei rejoiced at the reunion, but Wang Shichong thought that there must be a great conspiracy buried here!

Wang Honglie hadn't forgotten Xiao Buyi's instructions, and truthfully told Xiao Buyi what he said to Wang Shichong, Wang Shiwei frowned secretly, and said in his heart that this son is straight, at least he should discuss it with himself first.

Wang Shichong pondered for a long time before saying, "Xiao Buyi just said to you, want to meet me?" ā€

Wang Honglie nodded again and again, "Yes, but he didn't say the location, I think the saint has intentions, and he can send someone to contact him." Although he lost to Xiao Buyi, Xiao Buyi spared his life, and Wang Honglie was grateful.

Wang Shiwei couldn't stand it anymore, and said sharply: "Honglie, shut up!" What is Xiao Buyi, did he say he would see it if he wanted to? ā€

Wang Honglie was silent, Wang Shichong had a gloomy face, and he didn't know what he was thinking. At this time, a soldier hurriedly entered the hall and presented a volume of military documents, Wang Shichong took it and unfolded it, his face was pale. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Wang Shichong did not hide it, and said straightforwardly: "Xuyi has fallen, Liu Yongtong, a brute, actually acted as Xiao Buyi's lobbyist and persuaded Xuyi to surrender. The situation we are in at the moment is extremely bad. ā€

Everyone was taken aback, and they all thought, Xiao Buyi actually went to the next city, but he was afraid that he would attack Yangzhou City in an instant, and everyone would fight or surrender?

Originally, after Wang Shichong killed Li Zitong and seized Yangzhou City, all the people were full of ambition and felt that it was man-made. But under Xiao Buyi's series of blows, almost everyone felt that it was absolutely impossible for the Huainan Army to hold out for too long, and in this case, it seemed that it would be a good choice to follow Du Fuwei's defection.

Xiao Buyi did not kill Wang Honglie and Wang Xingben, which means that they can also be exonerated from the crime. When everyone thought of this, they all looked at Wang Shichong timidly, Wang Shichong's eyebrows furrowed, and he was furious, and then there was news again.

Everyone thought that most of them were Gao You who was also attacked by Xiao Buyi, although the siege was quite difficult in their opinion. But with Xiao Buyi here, obviously everything is possible. Unexpectedly, Wang Shichong only glanced at it, and suddenly laughed, and after laughing, he said word by word: "Xiao Buyi, your good words are also over!" ā€.
